09/24/21 – 09/27/21

The TBRS Community held our third annual Family Conference on September 24 – 26, 2021, using a virtual interactive platform. The event was a great success, bringing together families, researchers, and clinicians from all around the world! 88 families logged in over the three-day event to meet other families “virtually”, listen to researchers present their findings and understanding of TBRS, and have the opportunity to ask their questions in real time. Key presenters included Dr. Kate Tatton-Brown, Dr. Marwan Shinawi, Dr. Harrison Gabel, Dr. William Gibson, Dr. Serge McGraw, Dr. Harriet Smith, Dr. Chloe Lane, Dr. Ayala Tovy, and Dr. Rachel Rau. Their topics included genetics of TBRS; cognitive, behavioral, and sensory development; obesity; epigenetics; cellular and molecular studies. The Community plans to hold a “hybrid” Family Conference in 2022 to promote a global attendance while providing the “in-person” connection that so many families love.
